“Independence is a call to renew our shared responsibility in building a stronger, more prosperous, and peaceful nation for generations to come.
“I urge both leaders and citizens to embrace patriotism and dedication to ensure that Nigeria continues to stand tall among the comity of nations.
“May this anniversary inspire us all to work together with renewed hope and commitment towards the growth and greatness of our dear country,” he said.
